I have tried everything from using different Gurumukhi fonts to changing paragraph style but still fonts aren't displaying properly. I also used "Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer" and every mentioned settings.

Can anyone help me with the Indesign issue?

Hello @Jaspreet39039295kfw4, 

 

We are sorry you are still having trouble with this. 

 

After selecting the required text in the InDesign document, press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+J (for Windows) and Cmd+Opt+Shift+J (for macOS) to see if you get the Justification dialog box.

If you see it, you can change the composer from there.

 

Let us know if you need any further assistance. We are here to help. 

 

Thank you, 

Abhishek Rao

HI @Harishankar28255533s2c5,

Did you find a solution? Did you have a look at the screenshot provided by @Joel Cherney? Let us know the status so that we can brainstorm more ideas.

Can you name some of the fonts you've tried? The last time I checked, there were still a bunch of pre-Unicode fonts in use in the Gurmukhi typesetting community. If you try to set contemporary Unicode text in an old font, it just won't work. Similarly, if someone wrote some text in, um, AnmolLipi, then you couldn't set that type in a Unicode font like Akaash or AnmolUni.

 

Can you tell us some of the settings you've tried? I don't want to waste your time (or mine!) on posting things like "Optical Kerning can break ligatures sometimes, is Optical Kerning turned on" if your answer is "yeah, I already tried turning that off." So a brief summary of things you've tried would be helpful. 

 

Can you take a screenshot of what it looks like and post it?

Hi Joel, 

Thanks for taking time to response wit this. I have tried AnmolUni and Adobe Gurumukhi but the result is the same. "Matras" are distorted like this is happening with Hindi, unless we turn on "Adobe World Paragraph."

So, this is what it looks like when I'm using Adobe Gurmukhi with the World-Ready Composer turned on. Is it correct? Is this not what you see?

Hi @Harishankar28255533s2c5,

Another discussion similiar to yours is https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/how-do-i-get-punjabi-text-to-display-properly/m-p/13255865#M496456

Although the said discussion did not result in any solution, try the suggestions mentioned on that thread and see if something works for you. I am also tagging @Rishabh_Tiwari to look into this and get some help for you.
